On this website you will find several classic games I have updated to run on modern operating systems, as well as other programs I've worked on that I thought were worth releasing.




Recent Updates:

• April 18, 2008: Match & Drop was updated to version 0.1 (from no previous version number). Much of the source code was rewritten, and configuration options were added. New features include mouse control and trajectory display.
  
  
• April 10, 2008: RevivedHack was updated to version 1.63. An executable for Windows 2000 or later operating systems and source code for Linux, DOS and Windows are included.
  
  
• March 27, 2008: TileRogue was updated to version 1.21. An executable for Windows 2000 or later operating systems and source code are included.
  
  By popular demand (actually two requests), I reuploaded rhp 1.1, a Palm OS port of RevivedHack. Please note that this game is lagging far behind the other ports.
  
  
• March 11, 2008: ClassicRogue was updated to version 1.5. An executable for Windows 2000 or later operating systems and source code are included. Please note that Microsoft has dropped Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98 and Windows ME from the list of targeted platforms in their latest compilers. However, the included source code can be compiled for those operating systems, as well as DOS and Linux, with freely available compilers (see links below).
  
  
• January 27, 2008: TileRogue was badly in need of an update, so here is version 1.2. Included is a Windows executable and source code that should compile on any platform that the SDL and SDL_mixer libraries support.
  
  
• January 16, 2008: RevivedHack was updated to version 1.62. Source code for Linux/DOS/Windows is now included in the .zip file.
